title: A nanoparticle based chromogenic chemosensor for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes.
abstract: Quantum Dot-Schiff base conjugate displays selectivity for Cu(2+) and Fe(3+) enabling the simultaneous detection of these ions in semi-aqueous solution; in contrast, the Schiff base itself displayed no selectivity.
